PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Luka Doncic was ruled out of the Lakers’ game against the Portland Trail Blazers on Monday night after finishing with 29 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assist against Miami a night earlier.
Doncic was unavailable due to lower left leg contusion injury management. The injury forced him to miss three games earlier this season.
Doncic was averaging 41.3 points, 11. 5 rebounds and 8.3 assists per game this season.
The Lakers were also without guard Austin Reaves because of right groin soreness. Reaves had 26 points and 11 assists in the 130-120 victory over Miami. Coach JJ Redick said before Monday's game that Reaves felt soreness in the first quarter of the game against the Heat but played through it.
Reaves was averaging 31.1 points and 9.3 assists a game this season.
Redick said center Deandre Ayton (back spasms) was a game-time decision.
The Lakers remain without LeBron James (right sciatica), Gabe Vincent (left ankle sprain) and Adou Thiero (left knee surgery recovery).
